Re: Bluetooth tethering with NM?
In fact, would you please create a diff of /etc/NetworkManager before and after pairing up with your phone? Hopefully on a fresh instance of /etc/NetworkManager?

Re: Bluetooth tethering with NM?
Hi Dan, thanks for your quick reply. I don't run GNOME and don't have it installed; I run MATE which is a fork of GNOME 2. They have abandoned mate-bluetooth-applet (which was their copy of the gnome-blueetoth-applet) switching to blueman. They have probably based mate-bluetooth-applet off a version of gnome-bluetooth-applet which didn't have that checkbox yet; I don't see it if I use the latest version provided by MATE (1.6, while the latest MATE is 1.8). What would the procedure be without gnome-bluetooth-applet? I assume this creates a file somewhere like /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections; could you post the file that you get?

Bluetooth tethering with NM?
Hi, I am on Ubuntu 13.10 and am trying to enable bluetooth tethering (so that I can use my phone's internet connection). This is preferrable to wifi tethering which eats up the battery. I can easily pair my laptop to my phone using blueman but, contrary to what tutorials online show, the bluetooth connection doesn't show up in nm-applet. My network-manager-gnome package is at version 0.9.8.0-1ubuntu5.1. blueman is 1.23+update1-2ubuntu1. I would appreciate any help or pointers. Thanks! ___ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
